Plans for a housing development in the car park of Dumbarton FC’s Castle Road ground have been dealt a blow with the town’s MSP formally objecting.
Those plans were formally rejected by West Dunbartonshire Council in 2018 and, despite Cognitive stating their intentions to bring back the Young’s Farm proposals, no progress has yet been made. Now Labour MSP for Dumbarton Jackie Baillie, a member of the Sonstrust, has added her voice to those raising concerns - formally objecting to the proposals.
“The proposal for a housing development on a high risk flood plain is also concerning as many of the homeowners will find it difficult to insure these properties, an issue that has already arisen in estates around the area that are at less of a flood risk than the site of this proposal. “I am concerned that if this housing development is approved it will have a detrimental impact on Dumbarton Football Club and its ability to accommodate visitors and supporters especially on match days.
“This will also have the additional impact of reducing the revenue that the club is able to bring in and will restrict their ambitions to become a full-time Championship club.
